Been Around the Block
I thought I'd split this out of the Salt Lake 50cc thread for ease. Below are the details on parts that I am currently in the process of making for the Skyteam Aces. Parts will be bolt-on as much as possible so that any owner with a spanner can fit them themselves. I will endeavour to keep this first post updated with the latest details on each part:
Rear Hugger Mudguard
Set of 3 brackets and associated bolts to fit a front mudguard as a hugger rear mudguard. Aside from one small hole to be drilled into the swingarm the entire fitment is a bolt-on jog which can be undertaken without removing the rear wheel. Guards are intended as a more aesthetically pleasing way to meet Australian standards.
The first batch of brackets has arrived and will be going out to powdercoat shortly.
$60 for set of black powdercoated brackets and bolts with fitting instructions
Guards can be ordered direct from Ikonic Moto for around $100 shipped (depending on location)
Leather Tank Straps
Leather strap and mounting bracket designed to do away with the original rubber strap. Strap designed to hook straight to the frame tab at the front, and bolt down to the same location at the rear.
Mounting plates have arrived and will be powdercoated shortly, leather strap manufacturer has gone on holidays for a few weeks (the joys of working with small Australian manufacturers), we will hopefully see a final prototype from them mid June.
Current estimate $40 per strap including mounting bolt and plate
Custom Ace Seat
To clean up the lines a little on the rear of the Aces I've developed a custom seat, the first prototype of which can be seen on our Salt Lake bike. The seat is a bolt-on option using the original seat mounting brackets, and is available with or without the taillight/indicator/number plate mounting bracket.
The profile of the seat has been fine-tuned since the first prototype to flow better with the tank, trimming will also be revised shortly. Lasercut parts for the revised version have arrived.
I have received a quote for molding the tail of the seat and in small volumes it is more expensive than hoped. current retail for the complete seat is looking to be around the $400 mark ready to bolt on to your bike. As an alternative to the colour matched molded tail for a similar price I could do a foam molded tail and have it trimmed into the seat. What are peoples preferences?
Our first Tracker seat is complete! Now available to order, $350 + postage, ready to bolt on, trimmed in leather, made in Australia.
Stainless Bolts
Replacement bolts will be available either as a complete bike set or in kits for specific areas.
A full list of bolts has been supplied to a bolt supplier I have used previously in a previous job, but being a new business I am having a little trouble getting an agreement out of them, will let you all know as soon as I can provide pricing for these.
If there is anything else people would be interested in please let me know.
